Oh yes!!! Most definitely.

I've been suspecting that grains of any sort increase my hunger to epic proportions. So I don't eat grains. I got on FitDay.com and checked my nutritional profile and even with no grains, I'm getting the full spectrum of micronutrients. The one exception to my no grains rule has been for the last two weeks I've had one non-alcoholic beer with my meal. Beer is made from barley or wheat malt. Well guess what? As soon as I added the NA beer to my menu, my food cravings went through the roof!! So I've stopped drinking that now and my appetite is almost totally gone. Amazing.
This was really driven home to me this weekend at an Italian restaurant we visited for mother's day. I noticed that as soon as people sit down, they bring out the big baskets of bread. I mean I had noticed it before and quite enjoyed it, but now it dawns on me that it's GOT to be an intentional thing to make people hungrier so they'll order more food!! If I go to a restaurant and don't eat the chips (crisps) or bread at the beginning of the meal, I can get out of there without eating very much at all. If I have chips or bread or beer before I order, it's like I have no control over myself and end up ordering an appetizer and the biggest thing on the menu regardless of the price, plus desert and more bread and chips and beer.
Anyone else notice this?
